TAMIL CINEMA 75 -A LOOK BACKTAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 47

Madras Lalithangi Vasanthakumari was born in 1928 intoa musical family. Her mother Lalithangi was a noted musicianof her day and her father Ayyasami Iyer was a scholar andteacher of music. Thus, music was in her genes and she beganto learn classical Carnatic musiceven as a tiny tot. As anattractive lass, she accompanied her mother in the latter’sconcerts singing seconds (‘pin paattu’).

In her teens, she became the disciple of G. N.Balasubramaniam, and it was a turning point in her life andcareer. She imbibed all that was best in her guru’s musicalgenius and added her own to the inheritance. The MLV familythen lived in the Anna Pillai Street area of George Town,Madras.

During the December1946 music festival in Madras, therenowned musical duo Alathur Brothers were scheduled to singin a Sabha but, for some personal reasons, they could not makeit. Much to the surprise of many, the-eighteen-year-youngVasanthakumari took their place and sang! Her performance,scintillatingly sensational, took the listeners by storm. Thatnight a new star rose on the classical Carnatic music horizon.....

The January 5, 1947 issue of the popular Tamil weekly‘Ananda Vikatan’ reviewed her performance in its ‘Aadal Paadal’pages, showering praise on her but commented that she wasimitating GNB too much! It also published a passport-sizephotograph of MLV in which she looked very attractive!

Because of her good looks and singing talents, not surpris-ingly, motion picture producers went after her to get her intomovies. One of them was the powerful Tamil film producer ofhis day, SM. Letchumanan Chettiar (better known as ‘LenaChettiar’) of Krishna Pictures. MLV appeared in a single scenein Lena’s Tamil production, a musical movie, ‘Krishna Bhakthi’(1948).

In this film she sings, in a king’s court, ‘Entha vedukondhuO’Raghava’, a popular composition of Saint ThyagarajaSwamigal in the raga Saraswathi Manohari. Slim and sensu-ously attractive, MLV looked impressive on screen. And heraccompanying artistes were all women. The on-screen‘mridangam’ player was Kumari N. Rajam, who was an adeptin playing on that inimitable percussion instrument. Duringthe song recording, S. V. S. Narayanan, the noted mridangamartiste of the day, played on that instrument. Kumari Rajam‘acted’ the scene well because she was herself a mridangamplayer.

(Narayanan was the son of S. V. Subbaiah Bhagavathar of‘Jayajaya Gokulabala’ fame, the singing stage and screen starof yesteryears. He too appeared in a single scene in ‘KrishnaBhakthi’ playing on the mridangam in the famous and brilliant‘Kathakaalakshepam’ sequence by the hero, P.U. Chinnappa.Sadly, Narayanan passed away young without his talentsflowering to full bloom.)

(Attractive, slim and talented, Kumari Rajam received train-ing in fine arts and could sing and dance well. As ‘Baby’ Rajam,she was a popular musician in the early 1940s. In her youthfulyears, she was a model for the ‘Lux Beauty Soap’ ads. Sheplayed major and supporting roles in films like ‘DhanaAmaravathi’ (1947), ‘Ithu Nijama?’ (1948), ‘Ezhai PadumPaadu’ (1950, one of the classics of Tamil cinema), ‘Pavalakodi’(1949) and ‘Krishna Bhakthi’. Sadly, her screen career did nottake off as expected. Later, under the name ‘Thanjavur N.Rajalakshmi’ she emerged as a successful classical dance-teacher and choreographer and, now, she runs aBharathanatyam Dance School in Madras with disciples com-ing not only from India but also Singapore and Malaysia. Sheteaches Carnatic music too. Now in her eighties, she is stillyoung in sprits and bubbling with life and cheer and is a richgranary of film history and anecdotes of many hues aboutTamil movie’s men and women and musicians of the never-to-return, gone-over-the horizon decades.)

Mental healthexperts offeradvice to parentson board examsBy Our Staff Reporter

As public examinations forState Board, CBSE, Anglo-Indian and ICSE streams areset to commence, mentalhealth experts have come outto offer suggestions to parentsto lend encouragement andemotional support to their sonsand daughters scheduled totake these examinations in afew days from now.

Talking to reporters, V.Ramanujam (Professor ofPsychiatry, Government Gen-eral Hospital, PoonamalleeHigh Road) said that parentsmust understand the capabil-ity of the child and avoid criti-cal comments and also shouldnot have unrealistic expecta-tions.

Dr. Selvamani Thinakaran(Senior Consultant Psychia-trist) cautions parents to avoidmaking comparisons andnever discourage children be-cause mental pressure maylead to physical illness duringexams.

Parental pressure and rela-tives sarcastic remarks willdamage the morale of students.Children should not be put un-der mental stress. Maximalanxiety also spoils perfor-mance in examinations.

Many homes are under psy-chological crisis ahead of pub-lic examinations for variousreasons.

Determination and self-con-fidence will be the deciding fac-tors in these testing times, sheadded.

She cites the example of aStd. 12 male student who lostfocus after he got fever twomonths back and had to un-dergo psychotherapy. The boy,who had scored 480 marks inthe Std. 10 exam, was referredthe psychiatrist, followingwhich he became normal aftercounseling.

Experts also advise parentsto repeatedly say positivewords and tell their childrennot to worry and they are thereto support them.

Since our colony is close to thecommercial hub of T. Nagar whichhouses a number of leadingjewellery shops, our street is moreprone to incidents of chain snatch-ing. Recently, a few of ourresidents were victims of suchincidents on our street which tookplace in broad daylight.

There have also been reports ofmiscreants gaining entry into apart-ment complexes in the guise ofelectricians and plumbers.

police patrollingAlso our street is misused by

shoppers for parking vehicles.While we have requested the

We also request the traffic de-partment to enforce ‘no parking’on our street to curb such inci-dents. – V. S. Jayaraman, Sec-retary, Motilal Street Residents’Welfare Association, 31, MotilalStreet, T. Nagar.
